Enjoy this 2h30-street food tasting tour into one of the most enchanting and magic cities of the Southern Italy. Walk into the old town and taste the best local street food. Be impressed by the taste of the "rustico", soft puff pastry disc filled with mozzarella, tomato and bechamel, the flavour of local cheese, the crunchy tarallini, the "pasticciotto" freshly baked: a short pastry stuffed with custard and even more!
See the jewels of Baroque architecture like Basilica of Santa Croce and Piazza Sant'Oronzo with the "Sedile", the old city Hall. Let yourself be attracted by the soft atmosphere in Piazza Duomo.
This tour is the perfect formula to join a visit to the city to tasting of local specialties!

The walking tour/food tasting was excellent. Antonella was a very informative and friendly guide. 8 people on the tour and we all thoroughly enjoyed it and learnt a lot about Lecce’s history

Antonella was a superb guide. Her commentary was rich in history of Lecce and its food. We ate too much and enjoyed every bit of it. Would highly recommend.

Antonella was a fabulous guide for our food and landmark and history tour around Lecce this evening. Really couldn't ask for a better guide, as she is so well-versed in the city, its landmarks, and its history. All of the food stops provided perfect sizes of treats, and were a great representation of food and specialties of the city and region. We highly recommend Antonella and this tour!

Mona gave us a fantastic introduction to the history and art and food of Lecce. Very informative and fun. And we tasted some delicious street foods. We highly recommend it. Only downside was the heat - the tour didn't start until 11:00 and it was a hot and humid day, so it was a little uncomfortable towards the end. We suggest the tour start at an earlier time making it more comfortable for the tour guide and the attendees!
